The queen's wife is too sultry

The Dawson family, a prominent local family in Texas, has a history of nearly 100 years.

George, who experienced World War II and was able to make a fortune and lead the family to glory, finally saw his most satisfactory family status in his octogenarian years.

Maybe it's because the eldest son Arthur has just been elected as the mayor, or maybe it's because the scene of his descendants talking and laughing around him is so warm and beautiful. His mental outlook is not at all dull and decadent that an old man in his 80s should have.

The head of the family, George, took the hand of his favorite granddaughter and asked for her warmth for a long time, until the servant reminded him that the medicine was about to cool down, and he reluctantly let go of Gu Mo's hand.

Although the medicine was bitter, George gulped down without even frowning.

He wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, looked at Gu Zheng, and nodded with satisfaction, "William, although you and Lily are the only two mixed-race children in the family, among so many grandchildren, what I admire the most is you."

"Although Arthur has just been elected as the mayor, his son Pete knows how to eat, drink and have fun every day, and he doesn't know how to win honor for the family. You are different. Your parents raised you very well, and Lily, too, has her own design studio at a young age.”

Mei Lin and Catherine were sitting at the tea table not far away. She pointed her chin at Gu Zhe who was standing by the window and was talking to her husband, and said with a smile:
"Sister, it seems that it is wise for father to marry you to Gu Zhe. Among so many brothers and sisters, no one can compare to Gu Zhe. Look, father also likes Lily and William the most."

Catherine looked back at her husband upon hearing this.

What Mei Lin said may be right. Whether it is Arthur or others, Gu Zhe, as the only Chinese descendant, is not inferior to the members of the Dawson family in terms of conversational skills, ability, and even appearance, and is even more outstanding .

This can be clearly seen from his stalwart and tenacious figure, which is not out of shape even though he is over fifty years old.

Sensing that someone was looking at him, Gu Zhe turned his head slightly, met Catherine's blue eyes for a brief moment, then looked away lightly, and continued the topic just now.

Catherine lowered her eyes and said softly: "Yes, even you think so."

The slight sadness in her expression made Mei Lin startled. Mei Lin put down the teacup in her hand, stroked her long golden hair, and asked softly:

"What's the matter? Have you been unhappy with him all these years?"

Catherine's blue eyes were covered with a layer of hazy sadness. She pursed her lips, struggled for a moment, and finally did not speak.

She smiled wryly, "Forget it, some things can't be changed because of my mood. Now that Lily and William have grown up, after so many years, some things can no longer be easily separated."

Mei Lin raised her eyebrows and glanced at the siblings beside George with a thoughtful expression.

Gu Zheng is young and promising, Gu Mo is beautiful and well-behaved, and her husband Gu Zhe is the chairman of Zhongchen.

In all fairness, Catherine's life is already the most enviable appearance in the family, and Mei Lin doesn't understand why Catherine is still depressed.

"Catherine, we all have to learn to be grateful, don't we? Back then when your father asked you to marry Gu Zhe, even though he wasn't your favorite, look at it now, isn't it all satisfying to you?"

Mei Lin originally wanted to comfort her, but she didn't want Catherine to hear her words, and anger instantly occupied those blue eyes.

Suppressing the anger in her heart, she asked in a low voice, "Satisfied? Gratitude? Mei Lin, are you mocking me?"

Mei Lin explained helplessly: "Sister, you are too extreme, you know I didn't mean that."

"If my father hadn't threatened me with him back then, I would never have married Gu Zhe even if Gu Zhe had chosen one out of ten thousand!"

"He?" Mei Lin was taken aback, then opened her eyes wide and looked at Catherine with a face full of astonishment: "You still remember him?"

Catherine gave her a cold look, took a sip of her black tea, and did not deny it.

Mei Lin frowned. She looked at Gu Zhe in the distance, lowered her voice, and asked, "Have you let Frank go yet?"

"What if you let it go? So what if you don't let it go?" Catherine said indifferently: "It's too late, isn't it?"

"Excuse me."

Before Mei Lin could speak, Catherine put down her teacup and stood up to leave. The next second, her left hand was grabbed by Mei Lin.

"how?"

Mei Lin looked straight at her, and suddenly said, "I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry, Catherine." Mei Lin's eyes were full of unbearable and apologetic, with a look of self-blame and guilt.

"Back then. If it wasn't for me, maybe you and him."

Catherine shook her head, her eyes darkened, "I don't blame anyone except my father, he is the one who ruined Frank and me."

"Catherine." Mei Lin leaned closer to her and whispered something in her ear.

Catherine's eyes widened suddenly, thinking that she had heard wrong.

"It was Arthur who said it, and it can't be wrong."

"But." Catherine trembled her lips, her voice was choked up, and she could hardly speak.

"Although I don't know what father and Arthur's purpose is, including me, we haven't seen him for a long time. Tonight may be a chance."

Catherine lowered her head, her blue eyes gradually becoming darker.

In one world, several people were thinking about their own affairs, when suddenly the door was opened, and everyone looked over at the same time.

It's Arthur.

Arthur was still wearing the burgundy striped suit, his cheeks were flushed, and he could tell he had been drinking.

He walked up to Catherine, involuntarily pressed a kiss on her cheek, looked at her sincerely, and said:
"Sister, long time no see, I'm so glad you can come today."

The smell of alcohol on his body was too strong, Catherine frowned and took a step back.

Seeing this, Arthur smiled and apologized.

Contrary to his enthusiasm, Catherine's expression was not too turbulent, she said lightly:
"Father insisted that I come over. I heard that you have been elected mayor. Congratulations, brother."

Mei Lin looked away in embarrassment.

Arthur didn't mind his sister's indifference. He walked to George's bedside and asked with concern in his eyes:

"Father, how is your health?"

"Much better, are all the guests here?"

Arthur nodded, "The important people are here, and everyone wants to meet you."

George smiled, lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed, and the servants immediately came up to serve him.

As he dressed, he asked, "Where's Frank? Has he arrived yet?"

Hearing Frank, Gu Zheng's eyes changed, and he exchanged glances with Gu Mo.
